WHY THE MPAA RATED IT: R For horror violence and gore, sexual images and language. WILL KIDS WANT TO SEE IT? If they're into haunted house type horror films, or are fans of anyone in the cast, they might. From that point on and as the night progresses, the unwillingly assembled group attempts to get out while trying to figure out whether the eerie and seemingly lethal occurrences within the house are just Price's trickery or is a result of the building being haunted. The running away aspect is soon resolved, however, as the building's massive but archaic security system closes off any and all exits, doors and windows, effectively sealing everyone inside. Should someone leave or die, their money would then be split among the 'survivors.' To make the evening more fun, Steven announces not only that the building is reportedly haunted - a fact that Pritchett acknowledges from firsthand experience - but that he'll pay anyone who can spend the entire night there - without dying or running away in fright - one million dollars each.
